All of the below are Taleastic, which means awesome!
Pure by Julianna Baggott - Pressia, Bradwell, Partridge, El Capitan (Helmud) - Beautiful, sexy, strong and characters with some of the deepest depth I've ever read. Looking forward to riding with them into their next battle. One will never see (or feel) the flutter of a bird's wings or hold a doll the same way after reading this post-apocalyptic novel about the battle between what appears to be and what is. (Yes, I had to spell check apocalyptic. And the speed at which I talk normally doesn't help when saying it to the author/publisher/fellow booksellers.)
I Hunt Killers by Barry Lyga - If the title doesn't catch the darkest part of your thoughts, then the cover design will (yes, I do judge a book by it's cover (sometimes)). Jazz is determined to not be his serial killer father. But he was raised and taught by one of the most brilliant serial killers in history. How to be a normal teenager? Lyga takes you on a roller coaster of chills in I Hunt Killers and when you realize that there are only 5 pages left and the end is nowhere near, you are captured on that roller coaster with Jazz and Howie. Are you strong enough to hunt a killer?
Both of the above can be enjoyed by mature young adults and adults.
